Synapse-admin-api-python

A Python wrapper for Matrix Synapse admin API.

Versioning

This library now supports up to Synapse 1.60.0, any Admin API introduced after 1.60.0 may not be included in this version. However, newer changes to Admin API are planned to be included in this library. For planned update, see TODO.md. In the future, the version numbering convention will follow the version this library up to, for example, if this library supports up to 1.60.0, then the version number of this library will be 1.60.0. And the minor number will be reserved for bug fixes in this repo.

Releases older than 0.1.5 only work with HTTP/2

Get Started

Install from PyPi

pip install matrix-synapse-admin

Provide the connection information and access token in the first time of execution. You can either enter the information interactively or as arguments:

Interactively

>>> from synapse_admin import User
>>> user = User()
# The config creator is smart enough to determine the protocol and port by providing either one.
Enter the homeserver URL with port(e.g. https://example.com:443): https://example.com # Only need to be entered in the first time
Enter the access token (leave blank to get the access token by logging in): <access token or leave blank> # Only need to be entered in the first time
# If access token is left blank
Enter a username: admin
Enter a password:
Token retrieved successfully
Save to a config file? (Y/n)
>>> details_of_users = user.lists()
>>> print(details_of_users)
[{'name': '@admin:example.com', 'user_type': None, 'is_guest': 0, 'admin': 1, 'deactivated': 0, 'shadow_banned': False, 'displayname': 'Admin', 'avatar_url': 'mxc://example.com/ABCDEFG'}]
>>> print(details_of_users.total)
1

As arguments

>>> from synapse_admin import User
>>> user = User("example.com", 443, "<access token>", "https://")
>>> details_of_users = user.lists()
>>> print(details_of_users)
[{'name': '@admin:example.com', 'user_type': None, 'is_guest': 0, 'admin': 1, 'deactivated': 0, 'shadow_banned': False, 'displayname': 'Admin', 'avatar_url': 'mxc://example.com/ABCDEFG'}]

Documentation

Docstrings are present now in most methods and classes. If you see /equivalent to ".*"/, it's mean that you may want to refer back to the Synapse Admin API documentation.

More documentation are coming...
